By 1198 0

A French businessman, who owned several restaurants in Mexico, have been killed in Mexico City. His friend, who was his business partner, has also been murdered along with him.

It is suspected that the brutal crime has been committed to steal a couple of bottles of expensive wines from them.

An investigation is on. At this moment, it remains unclear whether the police have arrested anyone in connection with the brutal murder.

Mexico City is known for its criminal atmosphere. It is not a surprise that a murder of this nature has happened in this city.

The development proves that the city has extremely failed to offer a safe environment for people to live and do business in the city.

It is expected to damage the reputation of the city severely. It may dissuade French people from investing in this city.

The killed businessman is a dual citizen, who holds both Mexican and French citizenship.

It is said that the wine bottles which has been stolen from the murdered businessmen was worth almost $50,000.

It is high time to find a solution to the rise in crimes in Mexico. What makes the city a criminal den is the easy availability of drugs. To make the city free of crimes, its drug issue is to be addressed first.

French court dismisses request seeking postponement of trial against former French supremo

By 963 0

A court in France has dismissed a request seeking the postponement of a trial against former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

He is accused of offering a lucrative job to a judge in exchange of a vital information on a campaign finance inquiry.

The request to postpone the trial was submitted lately on the ground that his medical c0ndition could worsen if he was presented in the court.

The court ordered a detailed medical report to evaluate the claim made by the defendant to postpone the trial.

The report notified no material in support of the defendant’s claim, though it suggested the strict observation of physical distancing norms.

The development is a big blow to the former President.

Given the strict order the court has made, the trial is expected to resume in the coming week itself.

Mr. Sarkozy was once a very powerful political leader based in France. It is the first modern President of France. His mixed ethnicity was what made him more acceptable.

The case against him has badly damaged his image. Though he has maintained the stand that he is innocent, the case has already made a severe damage to his reputation.

Still, there are many in France who admire this modernist leader, who brought a new image to the country.

Canadian PM expresses solidary with people of France

By 1212 0

Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of the North American country of Canada, has expressed solidarity with the people of France, which suffered a terrible terror attack in the recent past.

The Canadian Prime Minister has spoken to his French counterpart, President Emanuel Macron, in connection with the matter. He has expressed his country’s support.

French recently faced severe criticism from the Arab world as it pledged its support to the right to caricature.

The recent terror attack has a connection to the right to caricature. It was to suppress the right to caricature that the attack was carried out.

Certain countries in the Arab world such as Turkey even directed its citizens to boycott goods produced in France.

The support France has been offered by the North American superpower of Canada is thus very crucial.

What the latest development indicates that like the Arab world has united against the right to caricature the liberal west has united for the right.

It seems that the development may create a huge rift between the liberal world and the conservative world.

The attitude of the superpowers towards this issue is crucial. It is the one which can determine the course of the present development.

France bans far-right Turkey organisation Grey Wolves

By 1073 0

The European country of France, which recently opened a word war with another European country of Turkey over the matter of the right of caricature, is planning to ban Grey Wolves, a far-right Turkey organisation.

The proposed ban means the organisation will not be able to function in the country in the future.

The ban is not capable to stop the functioning of the organisation completely. Grey Wolves is an International organisation, the said ban is only applicable to the operation of the organisation inside the boundary of France.

The proposal seeking the ban has been placed before the discussion table of the French government after the involvement of the organisation in the defacing of an Armenian genocide statue was found.

Turkey has not yet responded to the decision yet.

Anyway, the French government is likely to place the matter before the cabinet in the near future itself.

The Armenia-Azerbaijan crisis have deeply divided the European world, with Azerbaijan supporters like Turkey in one end and Armenian supporters such as Russia in the other.

The latest development is also a part of this crisis, undoubtedly.

It is yet to be seen how the European world will handle the crisis. It is important to find a solution to this issue in the near future itself.

By 1146 0

Severe protests have been organised in numerous Muslim countries across the world, in protest against French President Emanuel Macron’s statement that he will do everything possible to protest the right to caricature.

The French President’s statement came in response to a brutal attack in which a teacher was brutally killed after he had showed an extremely liberal caricature.

It was Turkey that came with a strong statement against France at first. Turkey even advised its citizens to boycott goods produced in France.

The anti-France protests have happened in almost every prominent Muslim country. The protests have been organised even in some liberal Muslim countries. In certain conservative Muslim countries such as Pakistan, the protests have turned violent. In Pakistan, the protesters have even tried to march towards the French Embassy situated in Islamabad. As many as 2000 people have participated in the protest that has been organised near the French Embassy in Pakistan. The protesters have confronted the police, and the latter have used force against the former to disperse them.

Similar protests have occurred in Palestine and Bangladesh.

Anyway, it is less likely that France reverses its decision to protest the right to caricature.
